Nick Halloway
- Nick Halloway: [invisible] You know something, Alice?
- Alice Monroe: What?
- Nick Halloway: If you were blind, we'd make the perfect couple.
- [Nick is invisible]
- Alice Monroe: How am I going to explain this to my mother?
- Nick Halloway: Just tell her that you met someone, you really like him, you think it's serious, he's transparent...
- Nick Halloway: Now you listen to me, you son of a bitch. I've lost everything but my soul, and you're not going to take that away from me.
- Nick Halloway: [narrating] I was a fugitive, afraid of getting caught. I kept imagining Jenkins leaping out at me from every dark corner. As a child, I would dream about being invisible. I thought it would be so easy. I could do what I want, go where I want and take what I want. But that's the catch. No matter how hungry I was, I couldn't give myself away.
- [flirting in the bar of the Academy Club]
- Nick Halloway: I hate TV.
- Alice Monroe: Me, too... I like music.
- Nick Halloway: I love jazz. I hate weight lifters.
- Alice Monroe: Narcissists.
- Nick Halloway: I love skiing.
- Alice Monroe: I love the ocean and the woods.
- Nick Halloway: I love blonde hair.
- Alice Monroe: I love... garlic.
- [making out in the ladies' room of the Academy Club]
- Alice Monroe: Nick, what are we doing?
- Nick Halloway: I hope it's foreplay.
- Alice Monroe: We should get back.
- Nick Halloway: [looks at his watch] Yeah, yeah, we should get back.
- [resumes kissing her]
- Alice Monroe: Let's not do anything cheap and meaningless.
- Nick Halloway: Okay, what do I owe you?
- Alice Monroe: [laughs] You couldn't afford it.
- David Jenkins: Listen to what we're offering you.
- Nick Halloway: In exchange for what?
- David Jenkins: For your services, of course, to your country. You have a wider obligation now. You can be of immeasurable value to us.
- Nick Halloway: I'm not doing your spying.
- David Jenkins: Suppose we'd had you, an invisible agent in 1939. Maybe there wouldn't have been a second World War.
- Nick Halloway: What are you saying? You mean I would've killed Hitler for you?
- David Jenkins: I mean maybe you could've saved thirty million lives. Changed history. Now, assassination, anything at all, is entirely ethical if you're on the right side.
- Nick Halloway: Now you listen to me, you son of a bitch. I've lost everything, but my soul, and you're not gonna take that away from me. Whatever I become, it's gonna be my choice, not yours. Is that clear?
- David Jenkins: Listen, we're prepared to give you anything you want. Everything you need. But you have to understand, if you won't work with us, I can't let you live.
- Nick Halloway: [puts Jenkins in a choke hold] I don't sleep well. I can see through my eyelids, I can see through the top of my head. I get walleyed. I get bat-shit!
